NEWS FOR APRIL 1999
STUCK MOJO STILL TOGETHER
Contrary to rumours to the contrary circulating
around Christmas STUCK MOJO are NOT splitting up and are at
present on their second short US tour since January. This one takes
them up and down the East Coast. Bassist Corey Lowery has indeed
left to join Life Of Agony but the band used a replacement, Scott
Banks, for the first leg of the tour. They have now settled on new
boy, DAN DRYDEN, to fill Corey's rather large boots. The band
are also looking long term with the possibility of a Live album release
in Autumn.
